Reflecting on the complex state of motherhood—marked by conflicting societal expectations, shifting gender roles, and the pursuit of perfection amidst daily chaos—it becomes evident that mothers today face countless challenges. In an era of rapid social change and technological advancement, they navigate a labyrinth of competing demands, from career aspirations to domestic responsibilities, all while striving to maintain an idealized image of maternal competence and unconditional love. Yet beneath this curated perfection lies a profound vulnerability and uncertainty, as mothers confront the relentless pressure to meet evolving standards of parenthood.

In the series "Keep It Together," the deliberately misaligned cut-up drawings serve as a reflection of the struggle for balance faced by caregivers. These compositions symbolize the complexity of navigating responsibilities and priorities, as mothers endeavor to create a cohesive picture amidst inherent chaos.
